Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a great superintendent, you need training. Without this, you may become defensive, learn to accept waste and low standards, or even espouse false concepts that will lead to certain failure. However, with proper fundamental training, learning from the best builders throughout history, and effectively using the modern concepts of lean, we can guide superintendents to have the best trained role in construction. Right now in our industry, project managers and project engineers are better trained, better paid, and are becoming leaders of the entire team. The positions of superintendents and project managers should be equal, but to be equal, we need to step up and take our place as the driving force of the project. This book will help you to do that and bring respect back to field positions everywhere. Before writing Elevating Construction Superintendents - The Art of the Builder, I had never found a book available for the art and form of being a superintendent. Yes, there are books about lean; yes, there are books about construction management; and yes, there are books about the skills of a superintendent, but there are none that cover the art of the builder in construction and the back-to-basics fundamental attributes of a true leader in the field. This is the first revision of the book we need and want for our wonderful builders in the field of construction. This book is filled with principles and actionable steps for assistant superintendents. I invite you to learn these, take massive action, and implement each step one-by-one. Please keep driving until everything on your project brings you joy. That is the measure of success. Expect more - Step up - Let's go

Across different states in the country, residential construction jobs are being undertaken in order to satisfy the demands in housing. Since residential construction projects are still a business (except when you want to build your own home), the idea is to build enough living spaces and to offer them to prospective clients or leasers at an affordable price. Of course the success of such a goal still lies on income and the general economic outlook, but one thing is for certain: now that the housing crisis is over, more people will look forward getting a place to call their home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow where you can, pull where you can't, and push when you must! This sums up our situation in construction. Tai Chi Ohno, the father of Lean Construction said "flow where you can, pull where you must" and to translate it from manufacturing to construction we added push where you must. Flow is king, it rules all, and it should be our first priority, value, and focus. In construction, when we cannot flow, we'll need to pull, and we all know there are situations that, regardless of our best efforts, we have to push. In a similar fashion, and in this order, we must use Takt and flow systems, then tools like Scrum and Last Planner, and then CPM only when we must. And Takt will govern them all.Takt planning has not yet taken hold in the United States like it should, and it needs to be empowered as the main scheduling tool to either replace the Critical Path Method, or at a minimum, to hold it accountable and govern it. One of the main reasons the construction industry still typically produces projects behind schedule--with a crash landing at the end and with poor quality--is because we incentivize this with the variation, lack of transparency, and chaos that comes from CPM scheduling. It is time for this to stop and Takt is the solution. We have written this book in a manner to match the fables used in Patrick Lencioni's books. There is a brief fable to introduce the need for Takt that will introduce you to the concept of flow and Takt planning, after which we will detail how to implement Takt successfully so you can bring back flow on your projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The more traditional forms of leadership that are based on static hierarchies and professional distance between leaders and followers are growing increasingly outdated and ineffective. As organizations face more complex interdependent tasks, leadership must become more personal in order to insure open trusting communication that will make more collaborative problem solving and innovation possible. Without open and trusting communications throughout organizations, they will continue to face the productivity and quality problems that result from reward systems that emphasize individual competition and “climbing the corporate ladder”. Authors Edgar Schein and Peter Schein recognize this reality and call for a reimagined form of leadership that coincides with emerging trends of relationship building, complex group work, diverse workforces, and cultures in which everyone feels psychologically safe. Humble Leadership calls for “here and now” humility based on a deeper understanding of the constantly evolving complexities of interpersonal, group and intergroup relationships that require shifting our focus towards the process of group dynamics and collaboration. Humble Leadership at all levels and in all working groups will be the key to achieving the creativity, adaptiveness, and agility that organizations will need to survive and grow.

Book excerpt: The Construction Company You Can Lean On Anyone who has hired a general contractor knows that you don't always get what you pay for. Oftentimes, what you get is missed completion dates, unplanned expenses, and less-than-quality results. This is just the nature of the construction industry--except Charlie Garbutt, head of Garbutt Construction, says it doesn't have to be. In Lean Construction: A Small Contractor's Journey, Charlie Garbutt shares the journey--and ultimate successes--that his company experienced by adopting Lean construction methods, and how that success can become your success. By embracing the Lean culture, Garbutt Construction is able to eliminate waste, save time, increase production, and improve the quality of its projects. What does that mean for you? -You save money -You receive the results sooner -You get the quality that you deserve The Lean method is tested and true--just as much in construction as in manufacturing--and by adopting these concepts, Garbutt Construction is making a commitment to its clients--to you. With decades of experience on record, Garbutt Construction has proven that its story is a story of success. It's time to make that success your success.

Book excerpt: Before You Put the First Shovel in the Ground—This Book Could Be the Difference Between a Successful Mining Operation and a Money Pit Opening a successful new mine is a vastly complex undertaking, entailing several years and millions to billions of dollars. In today’s world, when environmental and labor policies, regulatory compliance, and the impact of the community must be factored in, you cannot afford to make a mistake. The Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration has created this road map for you. Written by two hands-on, in-the-trenches mining project managers with decades of experience bringing some of the world’s most successful, profitable mines into operation on time, within budget, and ethically, Project Management for Mining gives you step-by-step instructions in every process you are likely to encounter. It is in use as course material in universities in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Ghana, Iran, Kazakhstan, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, as well as the United States. In addition, more than 100 different mining companies have sent employees to attend seminars conducted by authors Robin Hickson and Terry Owen, sessions all based around the material within this book. In the years following the first edition, the authors gratefully received a bevy of excellent suggestions from some 2,000 readers in over 50 countries. This helpful reader feedback, coupled with written evaluations from the more than 400 seminar attendees, has been an unparalleled source of improvement for this new book. This second edition is a significant accomplishment that includes 5 new chapters, substantial updates to the original 34 chapters, and 56 new or updated figures, flowcharts, and checklists that every project manager can use.
